"Waaaaah!" Shen Jingyue was awakened by the baby's crying.

Shen Jingyue was still half asleep and sat up, feeling a bit irritable.

The discomfort she felt made her more alert.

She opened her still sleepy eyes, endured the discomfort in her body, crawled to her son who was still crying loudly, and picked him up.

She cursed Qin Xiang'an inwardly, thinking he was a heartless scoundrel. If the child hadn't cried last night, he probably would have dragged her to do *that* all night.

She's so sleepy now.

She checked the baby's diaper; it was still clean, so the baby must be hungry.

She breastfed the baby, and little Xiao Beichen, who had finally received his milk, stopped crying.

But he must have cried so hard just now, because his little body was still twitching, and he looked so pitiful.

Qin Xiang'an washed the baby's diapers early in the morning and went to buy groceries, then went to the cafeteria to get breakfast.

She had just finished breastfeeding her child when Qin Xiang'an returned with the groceries and breakfast she had bought.

He thought his wife was still asleep, but when he opened the door, he saw that she was already awake, holding their child who had just finished eating.

"Wife, you're awake?"

He put the groceries he bought and the breakfast he brought on the table and then came over.

He asked with concern, "Honey, how are you? Is anything bothering you?"

Shen Jingyue glared at him and said reproachfully, "What do you think? Hurry up and burp your son."

Shen Jingyue directly shoved the child into his arms.

Qin Xiang'an quickly hugged her chubby son and skillfully patted him to help him burp.

But his eyes were still fixed on his wife with concern.

"Honey, do you want to wash up? I've brought you breakfast."

"Um."

I am indeed hungry right now.

Qin Xiang'an held his son in one arm and prepared water for his wife to wash her face with the other.

Shen Jingyue got up, but her legs went weak and she sat back down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Qin Xiang'an had just finished pouring water when he saw his wife fall back onto the kang (a heated brick bed). He thought she had lost her balance and startled him.

"Honey, are you alright?" He quickly put down the kettle he was holding and hurriedly carried the child over.

After he came over, he put the child on the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked at his wife with worried eyes.

Shen Jingyue slapped him lightly, annoyed. "It's all your fault. I told you to be more restrained last night, but you wouldn't listen."

Shen Jingyue was extremely embarrassed and annoyed.

Thinking about what happened last night, Qin Xiang'an felt his blood surging again.

He quickly stopped those romantic thoughts from running through his mind.

He knelt down and massaged her legs.

"I'm sorry, I'll definitely be gentler next time."

He apologized to his wife.

Seeing that the man was quite sincere and had massaged her legs, Shen Jingyue's anger subsided considerably.

Once my legs weren't so weak anymore, I got up to wash up.

After finishing breakfast, Qin Xiang'an went to work.

As he left, he added, "You can talk to Sister Wang and Sister Lu about the dinner arrangements tonight; leave the rest to me."

"I've already spoken to the cafeteria ladies about the food, and they've asked them to prepare two tables of good food to celebrate the end of your postpartum period."

"Okay, I'll go tell them later."

After staying indoors for a month, it's time to take the kids out for a walk.

"Oh, and don't forget, I believe you."

She handed him the two letters she had written.

Qin Xiang'an took the letter and put it away. He then said to his wife, "If you're tired, take a rest later. I'm going to work now. Wait for me to come back and cook lunch."

After saying that, Qin Xiang'an went to work.

Shen Jingyue was still sleepy, so she locked the door, took her son, and went into the space to sleep.

On the other side, on a train heading towards the Great Northwest.

Qin's mother and Qin Xiaolian were both extremely uncomfortable on the train.

"Mom, I feel so awful. I didn't eat anything wrong, so why do I keep getting diarrhea?"

Qin Xiaolian sat in her seat, clutching her stomach in great discomfort; she had just come out of the restroom.

Even Qin's mother felt nauseous and dry heaving at this moment, and she didn't know why.

It wasn't like this the past two days, so why is it suddenly like this today?

"Could it be that the dry rations we brought went bad, causing our stomach upset?" Qin Xiaolian wondered if that was the reason, given the hot weather.

"But those dried rations keep very well, and they don't taste any different." Qin's mother felt that the problem shouldn't be with the dried rations.

A local woman sitting in front of them, munching on sunflower seeds, noticed their distress and asked, "Are you from out of town?"

When Qin's mother saw an older woman ahead asking her something, Qin's mother was feeling very upset and didn't really want to talk to her.

Qin's mother didn't say anything, but Qin Xiaolian couldn't hold back any longer and ran to the toilet again.

The old woman watched Qin Xiaolian run away, cracking sunflower seeds incessantly in her hand.

He said to himself, "Tsk tsk tsk, I can tell you're from out of town just by looking at you. Our place is different from yours. Many people from out of town suffer from acclimatization problems when they come here."

"Some people couldn't stand it and went back after only a few days."

"Seeing how uncomfortable you are, you'll probably feel even worse when you get to your destination."

Hearing the old woman's words, Qin's mother suppressed her nausea and asked, "Sister-in-law, what did you mean by that? You said we're having trouble adjusting to the new environment, not that we ate something bad."

"I've seen plenty of people like you. You're just having trouble adjusting to the local environment. The train has now reached the Northwest."

"Go and walk around the carriage. There are definitely still a lot of people like you. Those people must be from out of town."

Qin's mother never expected this reason, muttering to herself, "Why is this change in environment so severe?"

"There are even worse cases. Some people even have nosebleeds, colds, fevers, and fainting," the old woman added.

"What? Someone fainted from a fever?"

"Is there anything that can alleviate this?"

Qin's mother didn't want to come all this way only to suffer instead of getting anything.

She came here to make Qin Xiang'an divorce that woman.

That woman ruined their family's reputation, making Xiaolian's reputation bad in the village and the surrounding area.

How am I going to get married in the future?

Anyway, he wasn't their Qin family's biological son; he was just someone the old man picked up from outside when he was still alive.

It just so happens that Xiaolian said she liked him, so he asked her to marry him, and all of Qin Xiang'an's money would belong to the Qin family.

Qin Xiang'an hasn't sent any money back for the past two months; he had originally planned to come over a long time ago.

But it coincided with the busy farming season, and we've been busy ever since.

All the work points for the whole year depend on this period.

Even if they wanted to come, they wouldn't have the time.

Just buying these train tickets broke her heart.

She had never ridden a train before and never thought that taking a train should be so expensive.

When she arrived at Qin Xiang'an's unit, she insisted that he pay for the train ticket.

"There's really nothing that can relieve this. If you're really uncomfortable, go to the hospital after you get off the train and get some medicine."

"Some people get used to it after a while, while others can't adapt and will go back to their old ways."
